Kentucky Lake is making a comeback. I decided to jackpot this MLF BFL and see what this lake had to offer. A good old fashioned Spring monsoon swept through the area, dropping several inches of rain before this bass tournament. This made the bass fishing a little challenging. Trolling motor issues added to that challenge.

This is a good example to make sure and do all your checks day before you start a tournament. You handled the situation with class & integrity. I guess that’s how it is sometimes, but would still be frustrating. You caught 2 good fish early. Thanks for sharing. Great content for others who might get in this situation and a good way to handle it. Congratulations on the check!!!!! Nice surprise.

@TheTinHorseMonty Год назад

Agree Steph. I was slightly disappointed but happy to catch a few. The longer you fish the more times problems like this arise.

@ricklovall6430 Год назад

Way to keep your head in it. Speaks highly of you. Glad you got a check.

@chrishampton8842 Год назад

Way to keep a cool head to you both, been there with a trolling motor issue. Fixed mine on the water with a utube video lol

@TheTinHorseMonty Год назад

Thanks. Good ole RU-vid. Glad you got it fixed Chris.

@134rwa Год назад

That's a day when you get to show the patients that fishing teaches, push came to shove, and you two handled it well, after all, getting upset won't fix it.

@TheTinHorseMonty Год назад

Agree. Just part of fishing.

@williamhiller7305 Год назад

My tracker tolling motor plug kept getting hot and stopped working. So now it is wire straight to the battery with a kill switch. Good job getting a check Gabe.

@TheTinHorseMonty Год назад

I think the less connection points the better. Thanks

@markpursell8192 Год назад

I would've taken the plug apart and hardwired it... That stinks man! At least you put a couple on the scale! Good video buddy!

@TheTinHorseMonty Год назад

Yup. Thanks Mark.

@alexrobertsfishing Год назад

Really nice recap of a challenging day. Funny how you and I have both been through this now! Way to make the most of it and get a check.

@tommiks5649 Год назад

Good ending to a rough day of fishing. I've been there had one day the battery power switch imploded shut down the big motor. Check it out and fixed it with some ingenuity and electrical tape and was able to make it back to the ramp. Caught a nice one by the launch😊 but there wasn't a check involved. Great video and thanks for sharing.

@TheTinHorseMonty Год назад

Thanks Tom. About one out of 6 tournaments something quirky happens

@adamspaulding8507 Год назад

Did you fish the Jet-A-Marina tournament this past weekend? My youngest and I fished it. We had a good thing going during pre-fishing, caught over 20 on Wednesday, 18 on Thursday and over 20 on Friday. All running different things, making sure not to beat up any specific pattern. On Saturday morning the lake came up nearly 2 feet and the water temp tanked 10° in the #1 pocket we found a few females that had pushed shallow in. Ended up out on main lake points with a trap the last 2 hours and caught 2 small keepers. That's just how it goes sometimes. My boy lost a tank of a smallie on an a-rig that probably went over 6. She just barely got the hook in her mouth, that fish would've put us close to the cut line. One thing's for sure, I'm very excited to see KY Lake back on the upswing after it's been down for so long.

@TheTinHorseMonty Год назад

I did not Jimmy. It's tough when a solid pattern goes away. That's a giant small jaw. Sorry it jumped off. Those fish are crazy!!! I'm with you on Kentucky Lake. We just need some grass and look out!!!

@boonet6896 Год назад

A good old anchor in the boat will help in this situation. At least you can make 10 casts instead of 5 without resetting 😅. I’m keeping one in my boat nowadays for situation like this.

@TheTinHorseMonty Год назад

Great idea. That would have helped for sure.

@Army_Outdoors_88N Год назад

Good video dude. Sorry about your guys luck

@TheTinHorseMonty Год назад

All good brother. It happens. Thanks

@thedogdaysoffishing Год назад

I was looking forward to this one since I heard you discuss it on the live cast. You handled it well. Not sure I could have. Only thing I would have done different is I would have asked if he would allow me to splice the wires together and eliminate the plug and receptacle.

@TheTinHorseMonty Год назад

Just one of those things that happens. Brent, I did offer to eliminate the plug n splice wires. He was just unsure about messing with it and didn't feel comfortable letting me modify his boat. I've done it several times but I understand his concerns.

@MegaGlennP Год назад

Always have tools in your boat! A cheapo volt meter ,some side cutters and electrical tape and you can work a solution to just about any electrical problem on a boat.

@TheTinHorseMonty Год назад

Agree. We had black tape 😀

@highjenks3d Год назад

why did yall pull of em, you had em on that first location where you went back to back keepers? just curious, i dont know the lake or location but i can only assume that there were five along there

@TheTinHorseMonty Год назад

He had another spot or two to check but we couldn't fish them with out a TM. We tried to get back to the juice but there were a few boats on it.

@jeffpeterson8846 Год назад

It happened to me twice and both times I had caught fish and it cost me money.. I would have kept you out fishing one way or another. I think he has water in the motor cavity.

@TheTinHorseMonty Год назад

Bummer. His hot wire was compromised on the plug

@joshuanewsome5298 Год назад

Man I feel your pain brother. I fish the Music City and Mountain divisions on the boater side. We had a tournament on Dale Hollow April 1st. The tournament should have been cancelled due to wind but wasn't. I've never ran a boat in water that dangerous. Granted I have a 19 foot Ranger so not a big boat. We fished til about 11 and didn't have to check in until 3:45. I decided to get back close to weigh in because I knew it would take a while and I didn't know exactly how long. Well the lake was so rough that I tried idling but water was just pouring over the sides. I felt I had no choice but to get on plane. In the first 500 yards I speared 3 waves. The 3rd wave completely filled the boat. My boat was so full the transom was sagging and the splash well was submerged and the hole in the top of my splash well isn't sealed to water was continuing to pour in that hole. I couldn't ever get ahead of the water with my bilge. My coangler was a young guy pretty freaked out thinking we would sink. I assured him it sucked but we wouldn't sink.

@joshuanewsome5298 Год назад

So we had to idle all the way back and when we got back the lake was so rough and the little pockets out of the wind were full of boats so we checked in at 2:10. Luckily we both caught enough fish to get a check for the 4 hours that we did fish. My battery compartment stayed full of water and everything was submerged but the only damage was a couple blown fuses and my battery charger was toast. I'm very disappointed in MLF because the weather was expected. We had sustained 30-40 mph wind with gusts well over 50. Had I been in a boat that could sink then it without a doubt would have. A kayaker actually lost his life that day because of the weather

@TheTinHorseMonty Год назад

WOW That's a crazy story.

@TheTinHorseMonty Год назад

I'm surprised MLF let the tournament go on. They cancelled one a few years ago for the same reason.

@bobbycolson1957 Год назад

When I first started watching I'm going looks like ky. Lake is getting back where it needs to be but with the way it dropped off..not so sure....what do you think

@TheTinHorseMonty Год назад

It’s a lot better than it was a few years ago but still has a ways to go. It may not return to the glory days. Grass would really help.

@johnnielarge5506 Год назад

Same thing happened to me in my last Bassnation Qualifier except we tried to fish but gave up after 30 mins

@TheTinHorseMonty Год назад

It comes to a point where it's just to much work to stay out there, especially when the wind is blowing.

@Unwrenched Год назад

How'd that boat handle the takeoff and the ride?

@TheTinHorseMonty Год назад

It was decent. We got a little wet but it was pretty windy. It fishes good.

@masonparis8423 Год назад

Mannnn being a co that would be toughhhhh. Always keep at least 1 extra battery and always check the breakers before you give up

@TheTinHorseMonty Год назад

I can be tough at times. The hot wire burned up on the TM

@dariusking2927 Год назад

I should start fishing tournaments again 😂😂 not really that Area where you catch your fish you should’ve drifted all way down to Jonathan Creek there is quite a few brush piles in that stretch doesn’t get fished that often 👍👍👍

@TheTinHorseMonty Год назад

I wish we had an oar in the boat LOL

@jimmyjackson2361 Год назад

Hoped you checked the circuit breaker. You started out pretty good.

@TheTinHorseMonty Год назад

It was a burned up hot wire. He fixed it that night. Thanks Jimmy.

@mikewallis8999 8 месяцев назад

Tough break

@TheTinHorseMonty 8 месяцев назад

yup

@chums101 Год назад

What kind of boat is that?

@TheTinHorseMonty Год назад

Tracker I think a 195 something,

@F1Hopeful Год назад

Always carry an anchor!!!! Ask me how I know!!!!!!!

@TheTinHorseMonty Год назад

LOL Good call.

@danielt3425 Год назад

That sux having to quit because of a trolling motor, you would have had a solid chance of finishing in the top.

@TheTinHorseMonty Год назад

Agree. I'll get em next time.

@scottjacopian3191 Год назад

Get rid of that plug in! wire direct, With inline!

@TheTinHorseMonty Год назад

Agree Scott

@highjenks3d Год назад

15th i thouht so you would have won that, just bad luck bAck to back keepers right there i think 5 were there but, if ifs and butz were candy and nutz, i dont miss the trail and it was to many of days like you just had i honestly feel that you would have taken that trophy in that one stretch there rule 6 never leave a back to back keeper location unless you got 5 in the well, i know that wasnt your call to make but, the front of the boat should have known that.

@TheTinHorseMonty Год назад

I think you are right. We should have just stayed there.

@highjenks3d Год назад

i think if it hadnt been for technical difficulty you would have been right up in it... if not it. by the look of the results

@TheTinHorseMonty Год назад

I felt like I had a chance.

@markgoins9859 Год назад

Do away with that troller plug and hard wire it. Lot less problems.

@TheTinHorseMonty Год назад

Agree. Thanks

@jimliechty2983 Год назад

I have always said, that having a bit of mechanical knowledge is part of controlling the variables. Since both parts of the plug were likely in need of replacement, should have cut both out, and just wired direct . a 10 minute fix!

@daveprost2336 Год назад

I do a lot of electrical work on buildings. I had the exact same thought...bypass the problem, wire it direct.

@TheTinHorseMonty Год назад

We had no tools in the boat Jim. I offered to splice the wires together, assuming the tools I had in my truck would’ve been capable of removing the panel. It was a triangle torque head. He didn’t want to take the risk of messing things up more. Gotta respect his decision cause it wasn’t my boat. Understandable.
